Do you think Ramayana would have succceded if SRJ was playing Ram - Page 2

Yes, there's nothing wrong with that either. I didn't mean it as an insult, as Lord Hanuman's character is just as great as Lord Rama's. It is just that Piyush's facial structure doesn't fit the bill of Ram. He's a good actor, no doubt about that, but that's just how I felt.
Given how Mahadev appeared at Lanka, around Tadaka etc. one wondered what was he waiting for and why was Ram needed if he could handle all troubling elements himself? That's another reason why this Ramayan didn't work. Mahadev interfered in everything, so what was the need of Ram avatar? He could have killed Ravan himself. 😕

I don't know why Mahadev was weeping so much in that track too. He wept when he told Janak about importance of becoming a parent, he wept at Ram's birth, he wept at his naamkaran, he was moist eyed when Ram was at gurukul...WHY was he crying? That also didn't sit well with me. Mahadev is one of the Trimurti. He was not an emotional character. Seeing Mahadev, Vishnu, and Brahma with such human feelings is not something I like. Their incarnations may have been emotional and humanistic, but the Trimurti were more poised and all-knowing.

DKDM spoiled the story, spoiled Mahadev's role in it, chose a bad cast...often so much was happening that it didn't look cohesive. Sometimes episodes were about Hanuman's birth and soul searching, sometimes it was about Raavan's frustration, sometimes it was about Sita and her dreams, sometimes it was Ram and Laxman (getting lecture from Mahadev also), sometimes Mahadev and Parvati talked only to themselves! Yeah, I agree. It was not just the actors. The execution of this Ramayan and the storyline were very faulty. No one wanted to see DKDM's Ramayan when there are far more accurate serials based on the epic.

It somehow didn't come together properly. More often than not it left viewers with a feeling of "Yeh ho kya raha hai?!" or "Acha? Mahadev yahan bhi the?" It was simply confusing and senseless.
